Making your move less stress
Published on 4/25/2025
Moving is stressful! Whether it's to a new home within the same city or a move across the country, it can be a lot to organize your move and get it done in an efficient manner. The best thing I can recommend is to start early. Spend the weeks before your moving day getting rid of clutter and organizing. Separate out everyday essentials that you will continue to use until moving day and seasonal items that you may not need for several months. Another important thing to remember is to label your boxes and totes to avoid going through every box at a later date looking for one item. It can also help to keep things separated and organized by room.
Another helpful tip is to make sure you have the right size moving boxes. You want your boxes to be large enough that you can pack items in yet be small enough to handle. Boxes that are similarly sized are much easier to stack than boxes that have varying sizes. And it's important to remember to stack the heavy boxes on the bottom to avoid crushing your belongings. Make sure to sufficiently tape the bottoms of your boxes to avoid having items fall through the bottom and break. And be sure to wrap all your fragile and breakable items.
